I just realized. When the saber flies into Rey’s hand, it’ll be that much more satisfying to visibly be Leia’s, right after we hear her very first posthumous word.
Resistance headquartered on Naboo, the Death Star wreckage on Endor, Leia having a purple blade, Jedi ghosts joining the fight, Rose’s theme bringing some resonance to Finn, and other things. None of these “solve” issues with the movie, but each are great to see. This is gonna be special, and hopefully a good note for this interpretation of the saga to go out on.
I am liking this, it feels like things are getting all tied together of a good blend between the good of the prequel movies and the nostalgia of the OT. The force ghost inclusion from Jonh is absolutely amazing. I totally dig the purple lightsaber now seeing it.
If a good VFX guy can show a planet from each era (PT, OT and ST) with a Star Destroyer being destroyed/exploding/falling apart … I will be turned on!
… I said it.
